    ok so heres a small update.

    i painted my engine cover.
    steps.
    1. clean engine cove with a solvent.
    2. mask off the Mitsubishi logo an lettering
    3. spray an adhesion promoter as the base coat. this allows the paint to stick to the plastic without pealing or chipping
    (1 or 2 coats will do just fine.)
    4. spray a primer onto the cover. (3 coats maybe 4 pending)
    5. spray the chosen color. (3 or 4 coats)
    6. spray your clear coat on let sit for 30 min.
    7. let dry for 30 min
    8. peal off the masking tape.
    9. if you want..... spray 2 more coats over the cover to give it all a nice glossy finish. if you dont the black will be flat. and if
    you do really think coats the paint can stretch a little leaving a curled like effect on your edges. (if this happens use a
    blade to make nice edge or push down with your thumb. then spray it)

    it curled with mine, thats why i know this haha.

    finished

    Nice choice in radar detector. Escorts are one of the nicer ones you can get for not uber expensive ones like Valentines or something.

    I actually read of someone on another site actually took theirs apart and reconstructed it in the cars engine bay. It was clean as hell.
